ONSOLIDATED STORE SERVICE COM- CASH-CARRI ER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 455,330, dated July 7, 1891.

Application filed November 2, 1882- Serial No. 75.761. (No model.)

of the carriers thereon may be decreased, and

in providing the retarders with movable weights, whereby the power required to swing the retarder may be varied, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, in which corresponding parts are designated bysimilar letters, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section between the rails of a way provided with my improved retarder. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line w as of Fig. 1.

B indicates one of the track-rails, suspended by the yoke A and being inclined, while pivoted between the said rail B and the corresponding rail B on the pivot K is the retarder K, having a cross-head k above its pivotal point and projecting above the top of the rails, and having below its pivotal point the depending bar or pin k, upon which slides a weight L, adapted to be clamped at any point thereon by the screw Z. This weight is adjusted in such a position on the pendent arm as to permit the carriers (which may be spherical or otherwise) upon the track when they strike the cross-head k to depress the latter without being stopped, and it will be seen that the mobility of the Weight permits the pressure required to depress the cross-head to be varied, as may be demanded, by the weight and speed of thecarriers.

Having thus described my invention, whatI claim is- The combination, with the track or way and with the carrier moving thereon, of a pivoted retarder arranged to encounter the carrier but to allow the said carrier to pass, and provided with an adjustable Weight, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
